Here’s exactly how to calculate your aggregate score for Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), with a correctly worked example.
OOU, based in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, was founded on July 7, 1982 as Ogun State University (OSU) and renamed in 2001 in honor of Chief (Dr.) Olabisi Onabanjo, the civilian governor whose administration established it. Many people still refer to the school as OSU.
What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark score that candidates must meet before they’re eligible to sit a school’s Post-UTME. OOU then fixes its own cut-off, which can’t be lower than JAMB’s benchmark. A candidate who clears JAMB’s benchmark but falls short of OOU’s own cut-off won’t be eligible to sit OOU’s Post-UTME.

How to Calculate OOU Aggregate Score
OOU’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The formula is a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 70 in OOU’s Post-UTME:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
70 ÷ 2 = 35
30 + 35 = 65
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 65 out of a possible 100. A minimum final aggregate of around 40 is generally needed to be considered for full-time admission, and candidates typically need a UTME score of 160 or above to purchase OOU’s Post-UTME screening form.
OOU Departmental Cut-off Marks
OOU doesn’t maintain one uniform cut-off for every course. Candidates who score at least around 200 in UTME are generally eligible to apply across most courses, but admission is competitive and the higher your JAMB and Post-UTME scores, the better your chances for any given programme. Confirm the exact departmental cut-off for your course on OOU’s official admissions portal for the 2026/2027 session, since this shifts by session and by how many candidates apply.
Final Thoughts
OOU’s aggregate takes under a minute to calculate: JAMB divided by 8, Post-UTME divided by 2, added together. Work out your own number as soon as your Post-UTME result is out, and check it against OOU’s official cut-off for the 2026/2027 cycle.
